News Release

(Cornwall, Ontario) On April 26th, 2007, at 4:00 p.m., officers from
the Central St. Lawrence Valley RCMP detachment attended a residence
located on Fourth Street in Cornwall, Ontario and seized 6,950 re-sealable
bags of contraband cigarettes that were located inside the house. This
represents a total of 1,390,000 cigarettes that were manufactured in
the United States and smuggled into Canada. This investigation continues
and no charges have been made before the court.

before they are transported across Canada. The RCMP will continue to
gather intelligence and work with the many law enforcement agencies to
disrupt the criminal organizations that are profiting from the illegal
tobacco trade.
